Before you can use an InfoPrint 2000 printer, it is important to make sure that your InfoPrint Solutions Company Customer Support Specialist has both created a local account and added a local user. If these basic configuration tasks have not been done on the InfoPrint 2000 printer, you will not be able to use it with InfoPrint Manager. In order to submit print jobs to the InfoPrint 2000, you must use the appropriate destination support system (DSS). If you are using the InfoPrint 2000 AFP printer, then you should use the PSF DSS. If you are using the standard InfoPrint 2000 printer, then you must use the IP2000 DSS, (specified as IP2000 on the command line): pdcreate -c destination \ -x destination-model=Infoprint2000 \ -x device-support-system=ip2000 \ -x attachment-type=tcpip \ -x destination-realization=actual \ -x destination-tcpip-internet-address=9.99.43.3 \ -x associated-queue=servername-default-queue \ servername:printername Review the following three topics before trying to use the InfoPrint 2000 printer. Matching media on the printer Before you can send jobs to the InfoPrint 2000 printer, you must make sure that the media supported by the printer corresponds to the media specified by InfoPrint Manager. You must: 1. Make sure media objects are defined for each media you will be using on the printer. 2. Tell InfoPrint Manager what media is ready at the printer. The InfoPrint Manager Administration Interface window shows a highlighted InfoPrint 2000 printer defined in the Queues pane under Printers. By selecting the Printers drop-down menu and selecting the Properties... option, you can open the Printer Properties window. Then click Media/Bins/Trays to see the media attributes signified by letter. If you are using a non-AFCCU InfoPrint 2000 printer, the medium-type, medium-weight, medium-size, and medium-color values specified in the Printer Properties window must exactly match the values for type, size, and color that are specified on the InfoPrint 2000 printer: To do this task, you must check the InfoPrint 2000 Paper Catalog and make sure it is mapped to the InfoPrint Manager media. If you need to add a media object that is not yet defined, see Chapter 4, "Configuring media," on page 45. Telling InfoPrint Manager what media is ready at the printer To see the current values for PSF tray characteristics for each item displayed in the Media ready field, specify this from the AIX command line: pdls -cp -r psf-tray-characteristics ip2000 where ip2000 is the name of the actual destination used in this example. For this example, InfoPrint Manager displays these values: ip2000: Chapter 2. Installing and configuring printer devices and related hardware 13
